Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge & Bar

If you’re wanting to find a great place to visit in Nashville, the city is not without options. The activities found on the legendary Lower Broadway, with its robust selection of shops, restaurants, and live music, could fill up an entire evening by itself. But the city’s glitz and glamour is really for tourists, and many natives avoid such areas altogether. One looking to "drink like a local" is better off going somewhere else. Just a few blocks over in The Gulch on 9th Avenue, tucked in what appears to be a repurposed industrial area, sits your secluded pocket of the universe: the cigar-friendly Casa de Montecristo. Neither a place to be seen nor a particularly big space to move around, Casa’s 59-seat insides offer something that few local whistle-wetters can replicate: a unique intimacy where smoking is not only allowed, but encouraged. It’s an interesting scene, and what you get really depends on when you get there. What vibes like a select club earlier in the day can ramp up to higher energy if there’s a ball game playing or a show going on. But the casual clientele mingle effortlessly, whether the space is the laid-back lounge on Sunday through Thursday or the bar it becomes on Friday and Saturday nights.

Great place. Great customer service. Old Fashion on Friday after was delicious! Awesome cigar selection.

Hands down the best humidor in Nashville. Excellent drinks and bartenders. Definitely a chill place to go and relax. Lot of locals go here. Usually have DJ Cedric on some Friday and Saturday nights. He does an excellent job of keeping the mood and the vibe going.

My favorite spot to start my night. The bartenders and cigar staff know me by name and also know my favorite drink(s) and cigar! Its a vibe and a must every Fri Sat and Sun for me!!

Nice casual place. Not stuffy or over priced. Friendly staff, the humidor guy met us as we walked by showed us sticks that were in our price point, gave us discount for first time customers. Non judgemental and was glad to see us. Great Old Fashion Will be back!!!

Was staying in downtown Nashville from Canada, popped in for a quick MF Judge and a great old fashion. Nice selection of cigars and pleasant atmosphere.

Fantastic place! Griffin offered a really good recommendation for a smoke! The vibe of the place was great and it was overall a perfect place to enjoy a cigar and drink of choice. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a chill spot to relax.
